The vocals on the album are credited to a character from the movie, as if Prince is singing on their behalf. Prince asked Anna Garcia for permission to change the lyrics for use in the Batman movie to fit the lead female character Vicki Vale, and the title and other lyrics were changed in February 1989.
The song was written for Anna Garcia, and was given to her upon her arrival at Paisley Park on which she says was her eighteenth birthday, 31 December 1988, (although it seems more likely she in fact turned 19 on that day) along with a pink cashmere coat (the song Pink Cashmere had been recorded six months previously). In 2005, the same live version was included on the Live From Paisley Park download EP.Īlthough specific recording dates are not known, the track was a reworked version of the track Anna Waiting, for which basic tracking took place in December 1988 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota (at around the same time Prince was approached about writing songs for the Batman movie). In 2001, a 1995 live version was released as part of NPG Music Club Edition # 2. A different version, possibly an instrumental remix, is heard in the background during a scene in Batman. Vicki Waiting is the fifth track on Prince’s eleventh album Batman (the motion picture soundtrack to the Tim Burton movie Batman).
